Liverpool hero sticks the knife into current crop of Kop stars and boss Jurgen Klopp

BLAST: John Aldridge has not been impressed with Liverpool's defending

Jurgen Klopp has endured a tough start to life at Anfield with confidence low and his defence in disarray.

The Kop have conceded 36 goals in 25 games this season - the sixth worst in the Premier League.

And after blowing a 2-0 lead at home to relegation-haunted Sunderland at the weekend, Aldridge says things have to improve - and fast.

“Even with our necks in front, we can't kill off teams”

John Aldridge

Aldridge told the Liverpool Echo: "The players have had a lot of stick and rightly so.

"The organisation is awful.

"But one thing that you cannot deny is their work ethic.

"They worked their socks off and you can't fault their commitment.

"The problem though, time after time, is that we don't know how to win games.

"We got out of jail against Norwich but you look at the results recently against Manchester United, Leicester, Arsenal and now Sunderland – we never make it easy for ourselves and we don't do it the easy way."

Klopp also came in for criticism with Aldridge seeing little light at the end of the tunnel.

"The manager has a big job on his hands and he realises that now," he added.

"Even with our necks in front, we can't kill off teams.

"Look at the Stoke game, when we were strong favourites and still needed penalties.

"There is so much inconsistency. I know we have been like this for a long time but now it's swinging on a weekly basis.
